The Grand Army of the Republic is
asked by its commander in-chief to
forward to- members of congress-
its plea in behalf of the passage
of the dependent pension bill over the
presidential veto. 1t seems like realiz-
alton of the fullest ingratitude of the re-
public when the soldiers of the war of
the rebellion must supplicate for that
which was voluntarily guaranteed when
they took their lives in their hands and
stood between this government and its
enemies. The Grand Army OF the Re-
public is composed of the survivors of
that once invincible host which for four
years wasted its ranks at the call of death
cupy the executive chair of the United
States. It's hour of humiliation comes
when it is asked to appeal from the de-
| cision OF that president against granting
q stipend to Its disabled members and
those dependent upon their toll for bread.
The most fitting response the Grand
| Army Of the Republic can make to this
proposition of humiliation is response
OF utter silence. The organization is
asked to place itself in the attitude of a
national beggar before one who laughs
at their woes and has no sympathy with
the herioc deeds of their past. He is
| their enemy and has been from the day
their fret comrade wss slain in defense
OF the nation which now casts its honors
at his feet. He is the friend of those
whose treason decimsted their
ranks and filled the land
with woe and made the widows and
orphans and dependent mothers foi
whose wants hs was asked to permit the
government to provide. 1t is true the
Grand Army of the Republic is not ex.
pectea TO plead With him tor tha. justice
which has no place in his heart, but 1t is
asked to ask the congress of the United
States to be just in spite OF the example
OF an unjust ruler Ii congress cannot
see it's duty IN this emergency then let
it go with it's executive head and make
its record as the alder and abettor OF
conscienoeless ingratitude. There has
been nothing invoked in the way O
charity for these soldiers. lis some.
thing due and long past due and il th,
nation chooses to ignore the obligation
the soldier can endure the deprivation
for the few years more left to him upon
fhia earth

A recent Yankton communication in a

The Yankton Press we believe Ia the
only paper which has not heartily COM
mended the presidents action in this
veto. The bill would increase the
amount paid in pensions from severity
five to one hundred and forty-five
millions OF dollars annually, sum al,
most as great as that which Great
Britian pays for the support OF her
standing rmy-siou1 Falls Aagus (dmn)
II the gratitude OF the country is to be
measured by dollars and cents it is best
to be accurate. Statements like the
foregoing have no foundation other than
the prejudice which inspires their utter
ance. Twelve dollars per month, the
size OF the proposed pension, would give
to each pensioner $144 per year. Ons

estimate, would take $lA. .4e0, ,000, ,and swt
hundred thousand pensioners, an esti-
mate which will never be reached, woult
take $2S, $500, 900. These facts and fgure
are to be relied upon, notwithstanding

BILL kYE's FIRST WILL.

Paid Of.

Ahu VAL
My dear Henry: This is dictated
letter, The thoughts are mine, but the
penmanshlp is that OF man named
Beasley, who is doing the chores for us
this winter. My reason for hiring a
private secretary is th 1t last Tuesday the
strawberry blonde shoat dumped
through hole III the ioe, and in trying
to rescue him from watery grave
fell and broke one of my legs, Just
above the fetlock.
While spread out here with nothing
to do my mind has been quite active,
and have had drawn off for me the
following outlines of will:
"First--I hereby appoint my beloved
wife Henriette TO be my sole executrix,
assignee and receiver of my entire es-
tate.
''Second-I hereby request that the
red horse Napoleon be sold and the pro
ceeds thereof used towards defrayinR
my funeral expenses, provided that the
sum of $25 therefrom be set aside for
the purpose of maintaining large, ag-
gressive bulldog, whose duty it shall be
to monkey DER my lowly grave until my
dust shall be of no use to scientists. Ii
ia my special desire that no part OF my
anatomy shall contribute in any way to
science or to the amusement OF GLASS
OF sore-eyed goslings, who cannot get
near enough to live man to operate on
him.
81 request also that at my funeral the
free list be suspended and that those
only who have personal interest in the
proceedings be permitted to take part.
"To said beloved son Henry be-
queath all my wardrobe, l have worn
out bis old lawn tennis and polo clothes
while he was attending college, using
his boating and base ball suits for under
clothing during the winter, and now
leave my own clothing to him es {
slight testimonial of my appreciation o.
his kindness to me, when l had no pole
suit of my own. l also direct that or
obituary consisting of forty lines, rela-
tive to me be printed in my sons paper

| pure reading matter, for which the sum
of $24 will be found in an old sock IL
| my escritoire in the barn. do not care
for the obituary, but desire to aid I
painting, struggling enterprise.
! 81 is also my desire that all my debit
contracted during life be paid up afte
my death. My object in dying is not ii
any way to evade the payment OF M,
debts.
II may add to this will, from time t.
time, as anything good suggests itseli
In the meantime let me hear from yol
